Likewise, clas rank (if your school does it, or otherwise a general knowledge of GPA distribution at your school by the colleges) will also make a differance: a 3.8 reads very differently to adcoms if it puts you in the top 5% of your class vs. the top 20%.
An employee's gross pay is the amount of his wages before any deductions, including taxes and benefits. Gross pay may be determined by the amount an employee works, as in hourly pay, or at a set rate, as in a weekly salary.
Measom mentions that annual gross income is a person's yearly salary before deductions are made. Avoid using the Net Pay portion of the paycheck because this includes deductions from taxes and medical insurance. How often a person gets paid and the amount determines annual gross income. One example is a $1,200 weekly pay being multiplied by 52 to get an annual gross income of $62,400.
